Washington Gas Light Company

Washington Gas Light Company, doing business as Washington Gas, supplies natural gas utility services—including transmission, distribution, meter management, and consolidated billing—to federal facilities across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region as a prime contractor on full-and-open delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts. The company holds no subcontractor footprint on federal work and competes exclusively as a prime, with all 2,937 awards issued directly to Washington Gas.

Washington Gas is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered at 1000 Maine Avenue SW, Floor 7, Washington, DC 20024, structured as a regulated natural gas utility monopoly serving over one million customers in the D.C. metro region. The vendor carries no SBA set-aside designations and competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements. Work is performed primarily across the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia; the company operates on firm fixed-price contracts, frequently with economic price adjustment provisions, reflecting utility tariff-rate structures.

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service dominates by award count (1,011 awards, or 34% of the portfolio), followed by HHS National Institutes of Health organizational units (847 awards across NIH Office of the Director, Construction, and Office of Research Facilities Development Operations Acquisitions). By potential dollar value, the top five customers account for 78% of combined potential value, led by HHS NIH Office of Research Facilities Development Operations Acquisitions ($876.4 million across 180 awards), GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region ($460.5 million, 128 awards), and HHS NIH Construction ($262.4 million, 262 awards). This concentration reflects Washington Gas's role as the incumbent regional utility provider to federal real estate portfolios.

The vendor holds position on five parent vehicles. The Blanket Purchase Agreement GS00P96BSD0029 anchors 613 task orders worth $89 million in combined potential value; BPA GS00P96BSD0029-HHSN263200100054135B carries 469 task orders for $13.4 million; BPA HHSN292200900003B supports 309 task orders totaling $58.6 million; Indefinite Delivery Contract GS00P06BSD0393 issued 230 task orders worth $711.3 million; and Federal Supply Schedule GS00S67086 placed 128 task orders. The indefinite-delivery contract awarded by the Energy Division on March 5, 2026, with a $50 million ceiling through March 4, 2036, is the newest vehicle, consolidating areawide natural gas service for federal facilities across the Washington region.

Recent work illustrates the portfolio breadth and magnitude. A $58.9 million delivery order from the National Institutes of Health issued December 1, 2021, covers utility payments, meter services, and consolidated billing for the NIH Bethesda facility through November 30, 2026. An $8.1 million purchase order from the Federal Highway Administration, awarded March 17, 2023, funded temporary and permanent gas main relocation services supporting the Arlington National Cemetery Southern Expansion Project in Ashburn, Virginia. September 2026 delivery orders include $1.1 million for utility infrastructure installation at Naval Support Facility Indian Head, Maryland; $420,000 for interruptible natural gas services to the Armed Forces Retirement Home; and $267,627 for natural gas utility services at the National Cancer Institute Consolidated Research Lab and Shady Grove Campus in Bethesda. A $4.1 million November 2024 delivery order from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center covers generation and transmission of natural gas through October 31, 2027. A $2.0 million March 2025 award from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives funds natural gas utility services at the National Laboratory Center in Beltsville, Maryland, through February 28, 2030.

Activity has remained flat year over year—eight awards annually across 2022 through 2026—despite a portfolio of 2,937 total awards spanning four decades. Combined potential value across the portfolio stands at $2.12 billion, with $1.16 billion (55% of potential value) obligated. Eighteen awards (combined potential value $78.8 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure across NIH, GSA, and regional federal facility customers. The vendor's award density reflects the geographic monopoly structure of regulated utility service: individual task orders are numerous but modest in ceiling value, bundled under master IDIQs and BPAs that consolidate procurement for multiple federal agencies served from a single utility network.
